Love Me If You Dare

Chapter 81

All the furnitures are removed. The cage, sofa, bed, coffee table... nothing is there anymore.

In the large and empty space, Jian Yao stands in the middle of the room. Her hands are cuffed to long chains that hold her up. There is a spot light shining down onto her. She is like a marionette on a stage. Helpless and stiff. Her face is extremely pale. She is waiting for what fate is bringing her way.

A thick layer of tape covers her mouth. She can't make any sound. She can only watch what Xie Han is doing with her eyes.

Xie Han is in a suit today. He looks like a gentleman with a smile on his face. But Jian Yao knows behind this facade is a despicable pervert.

He holds up a mobile phone. He is standing just a few steps away from her. He looks at her and smiles: "Are you excited?"

Jian Yao keeps her body still. But inside, her heart is pounding so hard it feels like it's going to explode.

The person he is about to call, is Bo Jinyan.

Bo Jinyan sent him a phone number via the classified section of the Washington Economic Times. And Xie Han is about to dial the number now. He puts the phone on hands free mode.

"Do— Do—" It's connecting!

Jian Yao lifts up her head. Xie Han's smile freezes. He looks at the screen. He is waiting...

"Click." Someone answers the phone.

"Hi." An unfamiliar voice, with a smile in the tone.

Jian Yao's eyes widens.

The voice. The tone. It's... so different. Is that really Bo Jinyan?

Her instincts tell her it's him.

Jinyan... is under disguise?

Xie Han replies: "Hi."

The man on the other end asks: "Where should we meet?"

"Two hours later...." Xie Han takes a look at Jian Yao: "I will send you the address."

"OK."

"Jian Yao is with me, my present to you."

The man pauses, then he says: "Great. Thank you."

————————

That's the end of the conversation. They mentioned her in their conversation.

What does Xie Han mean by "a present"? What has he 'prepared' for Bo Jinyan? Fear goes through her.

Xie Han keeps the phone in his pocket. He looks at Jian Yao. He rips off the tape that is covering her mouth. He has a look of regret on his handsome face.

"Now, I really need to say goodbye to you, Jenny."

A cold chilly fear comes over her heart. She can't hold back her question: "You... are going to kill me?"

Now? When Bo Jinyan is on his way here?

They can't even say their last goodbye. He will find her body when he arrives? No!

"No." Surprising, Xie Han shakes his head. But before she is relieved, he shares a plan that is even more cruel.

"The person that will kill you... is Allen, of course." He says with a smile: "Oh... think about it. If he kills you with his own hands, it will be a painful blow to Simon. He loves you so dearly, he will not forgive himself."

He looks at the ceiling, and falls into a reverie. After a while, he looks down at Jian Yao again, and sighs: "... Pain and guilt will never leave him. You know, this is the beauty of split personality - if his will is weakened, he will fall into darkness, and be replaced by Allen. Simon will not come back again. You see, Allen understands this too. That's why he is eager to kill you."
